Brain stimulation with tDCS for moderate depression
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve depression symptoms. It also uses MRI scans, aiming to understand how brain changes may relate to symptom improvement.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 20–55 - NCT05623306Recruiting
Brain stimulation surgery for OCD using a guided DBS system
This trial studies whether deep brain stimulation surgery—guided using special scans—can reduce severe obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms. It may help people whose OCD has not improved enough with standard medicines and therapy.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 22–75 - NCT05606341RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a diabetes-style shot to boost brain immunity in early Alzheimer’s
This Phase 1 study tests whether stimulating the immune system (through a receptor called TLR9) is safe and may affect brain changes in people with early Alzheimer’s. It mainly enrolls older adults with memory impairment confirmed by specific amyloid imaging.
New York, New YorkAges 60–85 - NCT05450432RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine maintenance to help prevent suicidal thoughts
This Phase 4 study tests whether ongoing treatment with ketamine or esketamine can reduce suicidal thoughts in people with major depression who are at high risk. Because the study focuses on long-term maintenance, you’d receive treatment over time while being closely monitored for safety and mental health changes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT05518188RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy trial for a childhood AP4M1 brain disorder
This trial studies a one-time gene therapy meant to help children with SPG50 disease caused by changes in the AP4M1 gene. Researchers will give the treatment and closely monitor safety and early signs of benefit.
Dallas, TexasAges 4 months–10 years - NCT05534724Recruiting
Compare early vs partial weight bearing after bunion surgery
This study compares whether it’s safer to put weight on your foot early versus only partly after bunion surgery. It may help your care team choose the best recovery plan for healing and comfort.
LuganoAges 18–85 - NCT05514899RecruitingPhase 2
Cannabidiol and THC study for gut health and brain inflammation in HIV
This Phase 2 study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) change the gut microbiome and brain-related inflammation in people with HIV. It may help researchers understand new ways to reduce inflammation, but you would need strict cannabis and CBD/THC avoidance during the study.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 21–70 - NCT05519579RecruitingPhase 2
Spinal chemotherapy to help protect the brain during blinatumomab
This trial studies giving medicine into the spinal fluid (intrathecal chemotherapy) to lower the risk of brain/nerve side effects from blinatumomab. It’s for adults with certain types of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who are starting their first cycle.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05470491RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Haploidentical bone marrow transplant with GVHD prevention drugs
This trial tests a reduced-intensity bone marrow transplant from a related donor (haploidentical), using medicines to help prevent a serious complication called GVHD. It is for people with certain blood cancers and aims to improve outcomes by balancing transplant benefit with lower treatment intensity.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–120 - NCT05461092RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Nerve blocks to improve pain control after spinal fusion
This early-stage study tests whether a regional nerve block can improve pain control and recovery for older adults having elective lumbar spinal fusion. If you qualify, you may receive a special pain-control injection during surgery to reduce opioid needs and improve recovery comfort.
Iowa City, IowaAges 65 years+ - NCT05474235Recruiting
ALS and motor neuron disease studies for patients, family, and controls
This study looks at people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), people who might have ALS, and also people related to someone with ALS. It may help researchers better understand ALS and related “motor neuron” conditions, and it involves participation that may include blood tests.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05471960Recruiting
Brain training study in people with REM sleep behavior disorder
This study looks at how the brain changes (“neuroplasticity”) in people diagnosed with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) using brain stimulation and other testing. Results may help researchers understand brain differences in iRBD and guide future treatments.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 21–75 - NCT05494398Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing N-acetylcysteine for autism symptoms
This study looks at whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a supplement/medication, can help autism-related symptoms by trying to target brain chemistry. You may be able to join if you previously took part in a related NAC study and can keep your usual medications steady.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 3–13 - NCT05441280RecruitingPhase 2
Pimavanserin to improve sleep in veterans with PTSD
This Phase 2 trial studies pimavanserin, a medicine meant to improve insomnia, in veterans who also have PTSD. It may help reduce problems with falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early that affect daytime functioning.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT05456321Recruiting
Brain stimulation and thinking training for prenatal alcohol effects
This study tests whether brain stimulation plus structured thinking practice can improve thinking and brain function in people affected by heavy alcohol exposure before birth. It may help parents and researchers learn how to support learning and daily functioning in fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–17 - NCT05389423RecruitingPhase 1
Pomalidomide plus chemotherapy for HIV-related lymphoma
This Phase 1 study tests whether a combination of pomalidomide and a dose-adjusted chemotherapy plan (EPOCH), with or without rituximab, can treat certain aggressive B-cell lymphomas in people living with HIV. It aims to find a safe dosing approach and see how well the treatment works for specific lymphoma types or high risk of spread to the brain.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05312424RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing an annatto-based treatment for statin muscle pain
This early-stage trial tests whether an annatto-derived product (called GG) can help people who develop new muscle pain after starting or increasing a statin. If you recently noticed statin-related muscle aches, this study may see whether the treatment improves symptoms and safety.
Lubbock, TexasAges 40 years+ - NCT05265546RecruitingPhase 1
Psilocybin study of changes in how you see
This Phase 1 study tests whether psilocybin affects visual perception and how visual information is represented in the brain. It also studies safety and what brain/vision changes happen after the dose.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for alzheimer disease or associated disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,805 recruiting alzheimer disease or associated disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a alzheimer disease or associated disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a alzheimer disease or associated disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
